Sun and clouds

A brown thrasher poked around under the feeder along with squirrels.  Three male finches contended for the perch.  Strangely, last night's downpour did not fill the birdbath.  It was short but there was a lot of water on the roads.  The nearly full moon lit the clouds with drama as they moved on. 

At noon the tail-less skink came out.  Some very young squirrels investigated the feeder.  The titmice are getting bolder and will come even when I am outside.  Several dragonflies , a black swallowtail, and a huge black bee flew around. 

And then the clouds built up and rained again while I was out.  Afterward, the sun made beams through the cloud rents, but the camera could not seem to see them.  Now I hear thunder. And a downpour with hail ensued.
